We are in such a golden age of opera with performers like JDF, JDiDonato, Cecilia, Natalie Dessay, Nathan Gunn, Debbie Voigt, Bryn Terfel, Erwin Schrott ... the list is endless. I hope more people get to the theater to hear these treasures. However, this has to be the stodgiest staging and costuming. How drab. :( The London version is so much more vibrant! Even with Joyce in a cast in a wheelchair!
Фантастический вокал не есть образ. В этом спектакле нет ансамбля. Каждый исполнитель существует сам по себе. Розина, блестящая в вокальном отношении, также отдельная персона. В спектакле много дешёвых, если не сказать примитивных эффектов, на которые так падка американская публика. Это совершенно не россиниевский спектакль! На сегодня только спектакль с Дмитрием Корчаком, прошедший в апреле этого года в Парме, может называться РОССИНИЕВСКИМ!
Nice perfomance. The REALLY BAD THING is that when he came to perform this opera at his home country PERU yesterday, he didn't sing this aria, for god's sake! He is well-known in the world for his performance of this aria, but when it comes to his country it seems that he doesn't matter at all! Bravo, Juan Diego!
IT'S VERY CLEAR HOW MUCH HE LOVE HIS COUNTRY AND HIS COMPATRIOTS, WHO WENT TO HEAR HIS PERFOMANCE OF THIS ARIA, BUT ENDED UP DISSAPOINTED
apreciar que es fabuloso. Su voz es sumamente bella! Les aseguro que despues de escuchar opera por mas de 2 decadas les digo que nunca he escuchado un timbre tan bello como el de Juan Diego, su timbre es prodigioso, fraseo, coloratura, legato, sus high Cs (Fille du Regiment) y su D's (Don Pasquale) escuchen su orfeo!
comparen con otros tenores no por el volumen sino por la belleza del timbre
desde la 1ra nota hasta la ultima es perfecta ejecucion.
De hecho, esta aria es anterior al final de La Cenerentola, o sea que aquel fragmento es el que está copiado de éste, algo, por otra parte, muy habitual en las óperas de Rossini.
Es igual al final de La Cenerentola! Rossini copiando a Rossini. Impresionante. E uguale al finale della Cenerentola!. It's the same of the Cenerentola ending! Rossini copying Rossini! Awsome!
Es igual al final de La Cenerentola! Rossini copiando a Rossini. Impresionante. E uguale al finale della Cenerentola!. It's the same of the Cenerentola ending! Rossini copying Rossini! Awsome!
This is sooooooo good ! This man is incredible, both fabulous for our ears and fabulous as an example to follow for young singers !!! Bravissimo. I hope he'll do a carrier as long as Kraus' !
I just can't imagine someone thinking to do anything but praise this singer. He is fantastic. One of the best I have ever heard. I am not an Opera aficianando like some of you on here are. I do think I have a little bit of an idea what great singing is, and this my friends is great singing!! I studied voice in college, have done some performing, and to be able to perform on this level LIVE in unbelievable. Not comparing him to anyone else, why do you have to?
Rossini re-used part of the music for the final aria of CENERENTOLA. Even then, he apparently realized that this aria was likely to be cut from BARBER.
For many years it was common for it to be cut from all performances and even most complete recordings. But now there are more star tenors who can sing it, and obviously if you have one, you want to give him this aria. Florez has made something of a specialty of it, and it turns Almaviva into more of a star part than it usually is when it's cut.
Rossini recycled a LOT of his stuff. It's not just that he realized this aria was likely to be cut from barber, he just was too lazy/busy to write completely new stuff for all his operas.
The Barber overture wasn't used for the first time in the barber, and parts of this aria were used in I think six (!) different Rossini operas.
Hay un disco llamado desde Rubini hasta FLorez, Rubini fue un extraordinario tenor contemporaneo de Rossini al que el compositor escribia sus arias especiales para el, lo que resulto dificil de interpretar a los demas tenores que obviaban arias de obras de Rossini al considerarlas imposibles de cantar hasta que las canta Juan Diego Florez, por eso se llama el disco desde Rubini hasta Florez que solo ambos pueden cantar arias dificiles del repertorio Rosiniano como esta cantada a la perfeccion
I LOVE Florez. He is one of my favorite singers today...so light and effortless. If you want another amazing Rossini tenor with a darker color (and arguably my favorite Rossini/Mozart tenor) search for Bruce Ford (he is on youtube) and let me know what you think....he is amazing! I sang with him in MN a few times and he is a wonderful person!
La mayoría no captarán jamás las trampas, y los otros, los pocos, no querran, muchas felicitaciones a JDF y a sus acondicionales, son muy afortunados.
Having been privilaged to be at Covent Garden on July 4th I can confirm that we are listenting to a man at the top of his form! He is certainly the greatest of his generation & potentially the greatest ever - it was the most amazing opera experience I have ever had and what colotura. There is no one who has mastered this skill like JDF - his technique is superb and it is a joy to listend to him anytime.
K, seriously folks... Has no one heard of Rockwell Blake????!!! These melismas are sung quicker, more accurately, and without sounding like a goat by Blake! He is the quintessential Rossini tenor of our time, and it is unlikely that JDF will never reach the technical proficiency of Blake. Blake gives a well bodied, full voiced sound, and not this goat bleating that is consistent with JDF. F. Araiza produces a much better sound, and I prefer him, even if he isn't quite as sharp on some melismas.
Not to mention neither Blake nor Araiza would have to step up to the curtains to be heard over the orchestra and the chorus.. That bleating doesn't carry like the full sound of Araiza or Blake.
wtf... Blake is horribly throaty compared to Florez. Araiza has a lovely voice, and is very technically proficient, but this aria belongs to Florez. He steps up to the the stage for dramatic purposes. Not for projection.
Moreover, what you call 'goatiness' is the natural free vibrato. You may prefer the stifled, muffled tones of Blake, but it doesn't mean Blake has better technique. Oh no.

You sir, are silly. Not only was Blake the first tenor in MET history to sing Cessa piu, he is, according to every singer in the world, the best Rossini tenor in recorded history. Natural and flowing is what you hear in both Araiza and Blake, but not in the bleating of Florez. Araiza and Blake are men, Florez still has a boyish sound. And I'm sorry, but technically, he does not touch Blake. Ask any singer.
On another note of opinion, I find it funny that people talk down on Blake's tone when...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Florez has the most ugly sound out of the three, being Blake and Araiza. Blake and Araiza are warm, rich yet still agile with a pleasant lightness.. JDF is closed, beyond light and too fluttery! I mean he is technically proficient, although not as much so as Blake, but other than that, I do not understand why JDF is so popular...
Well, you sir, are dissembling! It is patently not true that every singer in the world thinks Blake is the best in this rep. YOU do, but you may not speak on behalf of the world, I'm afraid.
Blake has had a long run at Rossini, and sometimes he sings quite nicely. However, critics are already saying Florez is the tenor Rossini envisaged for the part: light and bright.
Blake had an extremely ugly sound IMO. What are the good technique good for when one can not listen to his recordings because of the ugly voice? It is not true that "according to every singer in the world" Blake was the best Rossini tenor. Dessay said that for this rep Florez was the best. Not to mention the BBC list with Florez among the best 20 tenor of the century. Blake was not on it. Araiza was very good indeed, but his coloraturas (not meslisma) were not accurate, often very aspirated.
There is no doubt that Juan Diego Flórez is one of the very greatest singers nowadays: in his own repertoire, he is literally incomparable with any other singer. What I have discovered in the last two years however is that the Peruvian divo has become a singer who shines in a very special way in concerts and inrecital. For an artist to attain such excellence it is necessary not only to be a great singer, but also to have a very special capacity for communication with the audience.
this proves once again that there is no-one better than him, give me a break, there is no coloratura out there better than JD florez, he is without a doubt te best, no question
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Uh...... Ever heard of Rockwell Blake??? JDF is awesome, but he barely stands in the same room as Blake when it comes to Rossini, or all bel canto for that matter.
I still love this! I remember seeing this in HD in the movies and practicaly falling out of my seat when I heard him sing. By the time this came along I was just a puddle! *sigh*
I was at the Met gift shop a couple of days ago and asked this question...answer is no. My guess is that it will happen as the recent "The Magic Flute" is on DVD.
necesito algo de ayuda, tengo una version del barbero de sevilla que no tiene esta Aria, pero aun así, tiene las cuatro partes restantes despues del Temporale. Si, me la descargue, pero otras versiones tampoco la tienen .. ¿por que es así?
otra duda es si saben de donde descargarme la opera Tristan Und Isolde, pero por actos, esque la que tengoe stá en un solo archivo jaja
Finargon, my Spanish isn't great but from what I can figure out on your post, you don't have this aria in your version of this opera. The reason:many tenors can't sing it because it is extremely difficult, so it gets left out of the opera. JDF hits every note right on the head-I followed the score and was utterly amazed.
i love how the next year rossini used almost the exact same music for "non piu mesta" in cenerentola. cool studied cenerentolas will use this vocal line as ornament.
Alfredo Brotons Muñoz, Levante - El Mercantil Valenciano, 28 September 2008
Ni siquiera la hostil acústica del auditorio superior pudo mucho contra la belleza de un timbre de pureza y calidez subyugantes, sin asomo de vibrato y manejado además de una manera que no se sabe qué admirar más, si el virtuosismo técnico o la musicalidad con que administra regulaciones y matices cadenciales que suspenden el ánimo por más conocidos que sean los pentagramas recorridos
Besides, he is a " tenore di grazia", which means not a tenorino neither a lyric tenor, but a kind of voice well suited to Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini, among other contemporaries. Hear Bruce Ford in " Opera Rara" Characters, to understand the kind of vocie. Early Verdi, Meyerbeer, French Opera, demands another voice type, just it.
Not all Donizetti nor all Bellini, mind. And the lyric tenor, provided he has an even middle and good access to the head voice, would still outclass the lighter Florez in many if not most Donizetti and Bellini roles. Still, luckily, there is always Rossini. And, whatever Florez sings (perhaps with the exclusion of Mozart), he almost invariably sings it with consummate musicality, fine technique and, no pun intended, grace.
His contract with the owner of the Teatro Argentina who commissioned the opera, stipulated, among other things, that he had to complete the opera in 5 weeks. Being an admittedly lazy fellow he borrowed from at least 2 of his other operas. Case in point: the entire overture! He and his librettist, Sterbini, finished the opera in 3 weeks, although Rossini liked to say 13 days. He "pillaged" from himself and other composers all the time. In the absence of copyright laws, who could do anything?
Juan Diego Florez es de lejos superior en este aria, Rockwell Blake no se compara en nada, es sutil claro, pero JDF es excesivamente sutil para este aria, simplemente extraordinario, pero para Verdi y Puccini simplemente su voz no da...
Plácido Domingo dijo hoy: ''Juan Diego es el más grande tenor de todos los tiempos, el máximo de su categoría; no me acuerdo de otro que haya cantado así ese repertorio tan difícil que él interpreta''
Wow...it gives me chills to hear someone sing this clearly and beautifully! Bravo to Mr. Florez; an artist of his calibre certainly justifies the restoration Almaviva's victorious aria in this most triumphant of scenes.
jajajajjaja! Poverino, veramente credi conoscere tutto eh!? : )
Am I a LLama? ok. Whatever. NO comments about your resources to "make me feel baaad" you really do not know anything and are soooo self concerned, are so narcissist, that I imagine how difficult your life is. I wish a good life, though.
I really do not sing.. Singers do not sing to singers, necessarily. Singers sing to give something good from them, to share their gift. They are a lot of singers that has not what you think they should have, still, people love them, cause they sing with love, passion and without self-centeredness.
Not everyone is a singer.. exactly like you aren't.. so why am I supposed to sing? some people accept what is not capable to do it. You should try it sometime. I repeat, have a nice life.. :=) (I am not used to insult)
You do not give an opinion you compare a singer with a cartoon. A little bit of self critic from your part, no right? Look I do not have time to make a psychoanalysis.. with you so Have a nice life.
American test? So you are a critic too! Good for you, if you are a singer.. Would like to know your music, though. Where do you sing? who are you? Sorry, at least let us all know that in order to take in mind your critics. Anyway, JDF has won a lot of prizes, even under the European tests. So Probably someone thinks he is good. And we should respect the other opinions, without thinking all are ignorants except of course yourself.
Magnifico tenor; en cuanto a comparaciones, no es el Blake de hace diez años, pero en mi opinion no ha habido en estos ultimos 30 años ningun tenor rossiniano comparable a Rockwell Blake; su agilidad vocal le hace(ía) digno de los mejores; Florez tiene potencia y voz, mas que blake, pero no pone la carne de gallina como él, con su maestria subiendo y bajando las octavas.
¿dónde está el falsete? dígame usted. yo sólo escucho excelentes melismas y una sobresaliente messa di voce, me hubiera gustado que cantara el do4 en la penúltima nota, como lo hace en la grabación de estudio, pero aún así sigue siende sublime.
Donde esta el falsete? mas bien conozco a Blake por sus falsetes porque su cuerda no va muy acorde con las operas rosinianas, en cambio este rol en Juan Diego le va como anillo al dedo, el mejor tenor rosiniano de todos los tiempos y no solo lo digo yo
Te crees con derecho a no respetar las opiniones?. Tu puedes saber mas de musica que cualquiera pero no te da derecho a no respetar las opiniones de los demas ni a insultar. Humildad amiguito y tomate una tila. Sigue practicando.
Vaya, hemos descubierto que JDF es un mal tenor y que tenemos aqui un tenor frustrado al que no se le ha dado la oportunidad,que mal!. Pero sigue cantando por Paris, seguro que te va bien, paciencia.
Hemos descubierto también que si no somos cantantes ni músicos no podemos opinar...fuera ignorantes!!..me incluyo yo.
Gracias por abrirme los ojos gareauconmafille, y por cierto mandanos tu web para escuchar la perfección de tus interpretaciones y dejar de lado al malo este de Juan Diego Florez.
I agree! Florez is superb. Black may have had the technical agility, but the timbre of his voice was extremely unattractive. His voice reminded me of a bleating goat at times....
I was there!!! Can't believe I found this video. I bought my ticket for "The Barber of Seville" with Juan Diego Florez for March 24 2007 on The Metropolitan Opera like 2 months in advance (they were all sold out just couple weeks after). Was just amazing. Great young tennor with bright future, so proud to say he's my compatriot.
well... as somebody has said... don't criticize or compare the singers... you know every singer has some good and some bad things... obviously it's very difficult to find a perfect one for everyone. so just enjoy because JDF is doing a master job here! Bravo!
si q es verdad q el timbre de florez es mas bonito pero aun asi sigo prefiriendo y cn diferencia a Blake aunq esntendo q a ti t guste Florez x q la verdad es q no lo hace nada mal
I like this scene from Met especially, because there's not only one of the most difficult arias but an acting of them both together that's fascinating...
Beautiful voice and all, and I know this aria is usually cut if the tenor can't handle it, so I applaud Florez for his abilities. However, is it just me, or does this aria just bring the madcap comedy to a screeching halt? It almost doesn't seem like the same opera, and I think I like "Barbiere" better without it!
magico, stupendo!

Uh...... Ever heard of Rockwell Blake??? JDF is awesome, but he barely stands in the same room as Blake when it comes to Rossini, or all bel canto for that matter.

Superbe direction...singing 'Non fuggite'..while casually strolling away...
Obscene gesture at the end..'OK you can stop worshiping me...NOW!'
Really postmodern..as in...this opera is about nothing more than being a star machine...

I was at the Met gift shop a couple of days ago and asked this question...answer is no. My guess is that it will happen as the recent "The Magic Flute" is on DVD.

necesito algo de ayuda, tengo una version del barbero de sevilla que no tiene esta Aria, pero aun así, tiene las cuatro partes restantes despues del Temporale. Si, me la descargue, pero otras versiones tampoco la tienen .. ¿por que es así?
otra duda es si saben de donde descargarme la opera Tristan Und Isolde, pero por actos, esque la que tengoe stá en un solo archivo jaja
muchas gracias

Finargon, my Spanish isn't great but from what I can figure out on your post, you don't have this aria in your version of this opera. The reason:many tenors can't sing it because it is extremely difficult, so it gets left out of the opera. JDF hits every note right on the head-I followed the score and was utterly amazed.

i love how the next year rossini used almost the exact same music for "non piu mesta" in cenerentola. cool studied cenerentolas will use this vocal line as ornament.

Perfección belcantista
Alfredo Brotons Muñoz, Levante - El Mercantil Valenciano, 28 September 2008
Ni siquiera la hostil acústica del auditorio superior pudo mucho contra la belleza de un timbre de pureza y calidez subyugantes, sin asomo de vibrato y manejado además de una manera que no se sabe qué admirar más, si el virtuosismo técnico o la musicalidad con que administra regulaciones y matices cadenciales que suspenden el ánimo por más conocidos que sean los pentagramas recorridos

A mí me parece prácticamente impecable.
By the way: since when is falsetto a problem? At least it's how tenors did it at the time of Barbiere...

Besides, he is a " tenore di grazia", which means not a tenorino neither a lyric tenor, but a kind of voice well suited to Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini, among other contemporaries. Hear Bruce Ford in " Opera Rara" Characters, to understand the kind of vocie. Early Verdi, Meyerbeer, French Opera, demands another voice type, just it.

ultracam 3 years ago
Not all Donizetti nor all Bellini, mind. And the lyric tenor, provided he has an even middle and good access to the head voice, would still outclass the lighter Florez in many if not most Donizetti and Bellini roles. Still, luckily, there is always Rossini. And, whatever Florez sings (perhaps with the exclusion of Mozart), he almost invariably sings it with consummate musicality, fine technique and, no pun intended, grace.

The second part is an aria from La Cenerentola, isn´t it? It remembers me the last part from Cenerentola, sure

Yeah, Rossini often did this thing where he would steal music from himself.... the aria Is repeated in Cenerentola.

Yes, but Il Barbiere di Siviglia was written one year before Cenerentola.

His contract with the owner of the Teatro Argentina who commissioned the opera, stipulated, among other things, that he had to complete the opera in 5 weeks. Being an admittedly lazy fellow he borrowed from at least 2 of his other operas. Case in point: the entire overture! He and his librettist, Sterbini, finished the opera in 3 weeks, although Rossini liked to say 13 days. He "pillaged" from himself and other composers all the time. In the absence of copyright laws, who could do anything?
jobee9356 2 years ago
Juan Diego Florez es de lejos superior en este aria, Rockwell Blake no se compara en nada, es sutil claro, pero JDF es excesivamente sutil para este aria, simplemente extraordinario, pero para Verdi y Puccini simplemente su voz no da...

I really do not sing.. Singers do not sing to singers, necessarily. Singers sing to give something good from them, to share their gift. They are a lot of singers that has not what you think they should have, still, people love them, cause they sing with love, passion and without self-centeredness.

Sorry, at least let us all know that in order to take in mind your critics. Anyway, JDF has won a lot of prizes, even under the European tests. So Probably someone thinks he is good. And we should respect the other opinions, without thinking all are ignorants except of course yourself.

Magnifico tenor; en cuanto a comparaciones, no es el Blake de hace diez años, pero en mi opinion no ha habido en estos ultimos 30 años ningun tenor rossiniano comparable a Rockwell Blake; su agilidad vocal le hace(ía) digno de los mejores; Florez tiene potencia y voz, mas que blake, pero no pone la carne de gallina como él, con su maestria subiendo y bajando las octavas.

Beautiful voice and all, and I know this aria is usually cut if the tenor can't handle it, so I applaud Florez for his abilities. However, is it just me, or does this aria just bring the madcap comedy to a screeching halt? It almost doesn't seem like the same opera, and I think I like "Barbiere" better without it!
